Shaina Fishman, a pet photographer based in New York, has mastered the art of capturing animals during their most adorable moments. She adds a playful twist to her photos by pairing cats and dogs with unexpected props, creating fun and creative shots that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
During her photo shoots, Fishman inevitably ends up with a surplus of outtakes. However, she doesn’t discard these awkward moments. Instead, she selectively chooses images where the pets display funny expressions or quirky body language and uses her creativity to give them a whole new meaning.
New York-based pet photographer Shaina Fishman cleverly pairs her funny cat and dog outtakes with unexpected props.
“When editing, I come across images that are humorous on their own, but I see them being paired with something (or someone) else to create a narrative,” she shares. “I often play around with pairing images together. The juxtaposition of two images tells a story and brings out the human-like emotion.”
In a particular series titled “Zoom Zoom,” Fishman places individual dogs and cats inside colorful toy cars. In one image, a German Shepherd puppy gives the impression of speeding along in a red sports car, with its ears flapping in the wind and an anxious expression on its face. In another, a cat casually poses in a pink mini, nonchalantly resting a paw on the steering wheel.
